"Not only did you report information about me to her in your letter, but you also disclosed to her the deployment of troops on the Dayan border.
"You are from the Zhao family and the uncle of King Yan. I really can't figure out what your purpose is for doing such a thing."
Gu Xu paused for a moment and continued with a smile.
It is extremely difficult for others to find the location of this secret room and discover the secrets hidden in it.
But as the successor of "Emperor Ziwei" and the master of the "Astrolabe", Gu Xu has the ability to see through the disguise and divine the truth.
Everything in the world, as long as he catches a little clue, he can quickly follow the clues and find the truth.
Coupled with the "astrolabe", it can ignore most restrictions and carry out space teleportation.
Long before this investigation began, he had already sneaked into the secret room quietly.
The paper people on the ground are actually just a cover to attract the enemy's attention.
The real formation is actually hidden underground.
This space-changing spell is undoubtedly achieved with the help of the power of "Qiankun".
Of course, in the past, Gu Xu's own true energy would not have been able to support such a large-scale spell - it is very likely that his true energy would be completely exhausted before the spell was recited halfway.
However, in Jicheng where Vulcan believers gathered, the power of incense was continuously flowing into his meridians through the "Hui Lu" rune.
With the support of the believers, he used mysterious and unpredictable methods to move the rockery underground, and let the underground secret chamber appear in the courtyard without warning, so that the shady secrets hidden inside were exposed to the broad daylight. under.
There is no doubt that this is a fatal blow to Zhao Changqi, his son and his party members.
Zhao Changqi stood there in a daze, and after a while, he recovered from the shock.
His first reaction was to defend himself, saying that these things were used by others to frame him and had nothing to do with him.
But he quickly changed his mind and thought, Gu Xu had been hiding in the secret room for so long, and he should have found almost all the things that should be checked. In addition to this letter to Princess Zhaoning, he must have also found many other things. evidence of.
This kind of clumsy lie should only be able to deceive fools.
So he looked at Gu Xu and laughed loudly: "What is the purpose of asking me... As a wanted criminal who escaped from Luo Jing, don't you know that Dayan can't be Daqi's opponent at all?
"Our battle with Daqi was like an egg hitting a stone. There could be no other result other than a disastrous defeat.
"The King of Yan hundreds of years ago was a smart man. He knew the strength of both sides, so he chose to bow to Emperor Taizu of Da Qi and continue the fate of Dayan.
"I didn't expect that fool Zhao Changying, who had just cultivated as a 'True King', would dare to go to Luojing to cause trouble, and finally returned in a mess, dragging the entire Dayan into trouble, and leaving a mess to his daughter.
“As a close confidant of my niece, you should be very aware of the pressure she is facing now.
"I am also thinking about the future and destiny of this country..."
Gu Xu listened silently to his impassioned speech, and felt that creatures like "surrenderists" existed no matter which world they were in.
He can understand the other party's motives - when the enemy is strong and we are weak, choosing to bow your head and kneel may be a way to protect yourself.
But many experiences in his past life also told him that absolute strength does not mean absolute chances of winning. Sometimes miracles often come from seemingly unnecessary persistence.
"Whether you want to surrender to the enemy or endure the humiliation, these are all things that the king needs to worry about. It's useless for you to say it in front of me." Gu Xu smiled and responded, "I came here today because I actually want to solve it first. Let’s talk about the personal grudge between us.”
"Personal grudge? Aren't you still alive and well now?"
"If I hadn't learned some half-baked divination before, I would have died while drinking tea."
As he spoke, he made a singing gesture and pretended to roll his eyes.
These seemingly joking actions seemed like naked humiliation and provocation in the eyes of Zhao Changqi and his son.
Zhao Yu was furious, waving his fists and going to fight Gu Xu, but Zhao Changqi reached out to stop him.
"Don't be impulsive, you can't beat him."
"How come I can't beat him?" Zhao Yu frowned and yelled, "He is in the fourth realm, and I am in the fourth realm. Let's have a fair duel at the same realm and beat him to the point where he will be convinced and kneel down obediently. Crying and apologizing in front of us..."
Zhao Changqi shook his head and sighed.
He had never felt like he did today that his son was so stupid.
"Do you really think that your fourth realm and his fourth realm are the same concept? You should leave him to me to deal with."
After he finished speaking, he held the "Tonghua Ax" tightly in his hand, and a translucent shadow suddenly appeared behind him.
It was a ferocious beast with a strange appearance, shaped like a horse, with scales, more than two feet long, and flames wrapped around its hands.
The light is dazzling and powerful.
The whole body exudes terrifying coercion, as if it wants all living beings to bow before it.
Gu Xu recognized it at a glance, it was a monster named "犼".
It seems that Zhao Changqi gave him enough respect in this battle, and actually summoned his "Dharma Appearance" as soon as he came up.
Coach Cai next to him had a worried look on his face.
He took a step forward and stopped in front of Gu Xu: "Master Gu, let me deal with him!"
Before taking action tonight, Zhao Yan didn't give him anything else. She just told him repeatedly to ensure Gu Xu's safety and never let anything happen to him.
Coach Cai couldn't imagine what kind of expression Zhao Yan would have on her face if Gu Xu was injured in this battle.
However, before Coach Cai could take action, the phantom of the beast behind Zhao Changqi disappeared with a bang like fireworks.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Changqi and his son suddenly clutched their chests, groaned in pain and fell to their knees. Their expressions were ferocious and twisted, as if they were suffering some kind of inhuman torture.
Coach Cai looked surprised.
He turned his head and looked at Gu Xu behind him, only to see Gu Xu still standing there with an indifferent expression, raising his right hand, and then gradually lowering it.
Deep in his pupils, the light of flames could be faintly glimpsed.
It seemed that he was very close, but at this moment, in Coach Cai's perception, he seemed to be standing high in the clouds, turning into a god who did not belong to this world.
Along with his movements, the true energy aura on Zhao Changqi and his son became weaker and weaker, and they fell down several realms in an instant.
"God gave the power of fire to your ancestors so that you could have a foothold in this world," Gu Xu said in a calm voice, "but because of your disrespect to God, He plans to take this power back."
